The upper limit value (BP) and a set air amount (BO) set by an air amount switching lever (51) are compared. When the set air amount (BO) is larger than the upper limit value, the amount of the air passing through the inside heat exchanger is restricted within the upper limit value. In this way, the high-pressure side pressure increases, and an intermediate pressure in a gas-liquid separator also increases. Therefore, the gas injection amount can be increased, and a heating capacity can be effectively improved.<img id="" file="00000001.TIF" he="67" wi="79" img-content="drawing" img-format="tif" orientation="portrait" inline="no"/></p></abstract><search-report-data id="srep" lang="en" srep-office="EP" date-produced=""><doc-page id="srep0001" file="90000001.TIF" he="237" wi="156" type="tif"/><doc-page id="srep0002" file="90010001.TIF" he="233" wi="156" type="tif"/></search-report-data></ep-patent-document>
